With talent like Zachary Quinto, Lukas Gage, Judith Light, and Audra. McDonald, I figured this film had to have something going for it. Plus the trailer was fun and the plot seemed promising (and the house in the movie's gorgeous). But, no. It's now clear why the movie went direct-to-video.
But why would such talented people agree to perform in such nonsense? Did they not read the script?
Almost every plot development and so much of the dialogue thumbs its nose at credibility. Totally cringe.
It's too bad. There are a few funny moment and snappy lines-even a few decent dramatic moments. And the cast has good chemistry.
Really, a talented screenwriter needed to extract the good stuff from this mess and totally rewrite it. And a much smarter director needed to take control. There really is some potential buried in there somewhere.

Unusual little thing, to put it mildly since it involves a divorced man who realizes he is gay and who in the space of one day has three men for hire over to his beautiful home. One is to give him a massage, one is for him to have sex with and one is another male prostitute who likes having sex with the deceased. In the midst of this is a visit from a neighbor (Judith Light) who is whacked out of her mind on medications and gets locked in the place. This starts off terribly primarily due to the ridiculous characterization of the massage guy, but it and he improve as it goes along. That character, played by Lucas Gage, eventually becomes more likable, but the film's saving grace is the performance of Zachary Quinto who is really rather good in this as a sad and troubled man. Parts of this black comedy work very well, some doesn't, and there is surprising humor popping up here and there. Unfortunately, much like the beginning the ending is a mess. There is also the required sex scene and given that it is performed by two gay actors, it is spectacularly unerotic. American films about gay men tend to be rather poor, so this is a bit of a surprise being as good as it is, though it does take some tolerance, but hey, it's a comedy even if it does end with someone committing a major crime that they don't seem to be aware of.
This is more of the type of newish humor that needs to be written. Like "Bros" it is a refreshing and more normal way to portray gay people in cinema.
Very clever writing good jokes, funny scenarios and quippy scenes without being too kitschy.
Hopefully this does well and they keep making more dark/black comedies like this.
Next I want to see a gay version of a satire Christopher Guest type movie, that would be cool.
Then they could do a murder mystery type, then a gay themed sci-fi one.
Not perfect, and that's ok, nothing in life, let alone cinema is a 10/10, just like no person is a 10.

A funny, dark comedy that doesn't try to be more than it is. Thoroughly enjoyed it as a gay movie that doesn't try to be groundbreaking and moving etc trying to win awards by showing the immense struggle of being a gay man and coming out.
The relationship between Cameron and Gary is incredibly endearing and provide some proper laughs.
A fresh take one what could be seen as an overdone premise, taking what would generally be a thriller and turning it into a light hearted dark comedy.
Absolutely added to my list of favourites for light watching, and will be giving this another viewing in a few months.
Zachary quinto and Lukas Cage both are amazing in this.
